LSU coach Paul Mainieri had the situation he was comfortable with in the ninth inning on Wednesday night against Southeastern.
After falling behind 5-0 against the Lions, a sacrifice fly from Daniel Cabrera in the seventh inning and a deep 3-run home run by Jake Slaughter in the eighth inning cut the lead down to 5-4.
The Tigers loaded the bases in the ninth inning after a one-out intentional walk of Antoine Duplantis. LSU sent up clean-up hitter Hunter Feduccia to the plate in a scenario Mainieri said he'd take "100 times out of 100."
But instead of scoring the tying run or taking the lead, Feduccia grounded out into a 4-6-3 double play.
